Issue Content

This module adds a quick-add button alongside the existing quick-add buttons for attachments, subtasks, and linked issues in the new Jira issue view. Users will use your quick-add button to add content to help describe, and ultimately resolve, an issue.

When a user clicks on your app's quick-add button, a panel is added below the issue description that displays content from a URL provided by your app (similar to the web panel module). This URL must be a relative URL from your app's server.

ISSUE_QUICK_ADD_CLICKED event

When a user clicks your quick-add button, the ISSUE_QUICK_ADD_CLICKED event is sent. You can listen for this event using the JavaScript API. Here's an example:

AP.events.on('ISSUE_QUICK_ADD_CLICKED', function(event){
  // display a dialog when quick add button was clicked. event = { isNewToIssue: boolean }
  // isNewToIssue is true if this is first time content panel being added to current issue.
  // isNewToIssue is false if content panel is already on issue view, and it is selected.
  AP.dialog.create({
        key: 'sized-panel',
        width: '500px',
        height: '200px',
        chrome: true,
        header: JSON.stringify(event)
  });
 });

You can use this to design an experience where you want a user to input, select, or review information before interacting with your web panel.
